Tinx Wrote a Horny Hamptons Novel and Now She’s Ready to Find Love

If you weren’t already planning to spend this summer horny, hydrated, and happily curled up with Hotter in the Hamptons, Tinx is here to give you a very specific nudge in that direction.

The influencer-turned-author stopped by The World’s First Podcast for her third Dear Media appearance—joining hosts Sara and Erin Foster for a no-filter convo about dating, ghosting, social media fatigue, and her buzzy debut novel, which the Foster sisters have already optioned for a television adaptation. (Yes, the Hotter in the Hamptons cinematic universe is coming. Try to stay calm.)

From feed pics to feet pics

Before diving into literary talk, the trio kicked off with a very Tinx-worthy sidebar: whether monetizing feet pics on OnlyFans is the ultimate cheat code. “I’ve thought about it, like I’ve really, really thought about it,” Tinx confessed. “I have pretty nice feet… more for like an experiment, I wanna see how much money I can make.” In classic Tinx fashion, the honesty was both hilarious and disarmingly relatable.

But her real money-maker these days? Her mind. And Hotter in the Hamptons proves it.

Hotter in the Hamptons is horny, hilarious—and already headed to TV

“I wanted it to be fun, escapism, fantasy,” Tinx explained, adding that she drew inspiration from her popular “rich mom” characters on Instagram. The novel follows Lola, a deeply flawed, slightly irritating, totally magnetic woman who, as Tinx puts it, “doesn’t realize how much she loses herself in relationships.” There’s queerness, kink, and commentary on influencer culture—all wrapped up in a package that feels like Sex and the City had a sapphic lovechild with White Lotus.

And no surprise: the Fosters saw gold. “We want to make this show so delicious—ugh, I hate that word—but we do,” Sara joked. “We want people to watch this show and say, ‘It’s the Hamptons or bust.’”

On ghosting, dating apps, and rejection with actual dignity

While the book is fiction, Tinx didn’t hold back when talking about her real-life love life—or lack thereof. She spoke candidly about working with dating coach Amy Nobile (yes, the same Amy who was on We Met At Acme in April), only to realize she wasn’t quite ready to date seriously. “I just couldn’t do it,” she admitted. “I have it in my mind how I want to feel when I meet the person, and I haven’t felt that yet.”

That honesty flowed into her opinions on ghosting culture. “Getting ghosted is confusing for multiple weeks,” she said. “But being told, ‘Hey, I didn’t feel a spark’? That stings for two seconds. Then you move on.” She’s even sent her fair share of anti-ghost texts—because “you want good dating karma, and you keep your side of the street clean.”

And what about love at first sight? “I think I’ve experienced something close to it,” she shared. “All of my boyfriends, I liked them pretty quickly… but none of them have worked out. So maybe I should try the slow burn.”

The real reason Tinx hated the Hamptons—until she didn’t

Longtime fans might remember that Tinx once hated the Hamptons. “I thought it was lame,” she laughed. “So expensive. The weather sucks. The beaches—meh.” But that changed when she could afford to rent her own house. “Then I flipped. Now I love it.”

The backdrop is perfect for Lola’s journey—and the themes in the book, from sexual identity to influencer burnout, feel ripped from Tinx’s own camera roll. “I think all the time about becoming boring,” she said. “There’s so much pressure to fit into the middle once you start getting brand deals. I’ve literally taken Instagram Stories down because I didn’t want to upset a sponsor.”

As she put it, “You start off different and interesting, and then the higher you get, the more you have to appeal to everyone.”

Tinx: ready for love—and ready to stop doing it all

Though Hotter in the Hamptons came from a place of power, Tinx also admitted she’s ready to be taken care of for once. “I’m quite frankly exhausted,” she said. “I want to be in my feminine. I want a rock. I’ve been in my masculine energy for so long, always fixing everything, always handling things… I just want to laugh with someone. That’s what I want in a partner.”

So, what’s next? According to her, maybe marriage. Maybe a family. “Now that my book is out, I’m ready. I had something to prove. But now I want to turn my attention to my personal life.”

If there’s one lesson Tinx leaves us with, it’s that you don’t have to choose between ambition and desire, intellect and eroticism, or feet pics and feminism.This summer, you really can have it all. Just make sure to pre-order the vibrator bundle while you’re at it.
